How to say “Egg” in Thai

ไข่

khài

“egg”

“Egg” in Thai is ไข่, written khài in the Latin alphabet.

Tone

ไข่ carries a low tone — below your resting pitch, and it stays there. Thai uses tone to tell words apart, so the pitch is part of the word, not an accent you can drop.

The shortest way in is an English intonation you already use. Say “Don’t.” out loud — quiet and stern, the warning you give without raising your voice — then say ไข่ with that same shape.
